Vantaggi

You can get a placement with a really good company

Svantaggi

Training is unpaid. The majority of the trainees are forced to wait 2-3 months after their sign-off date, which in some cases adds up to 6 months. It is cruel that they make you attend the academy full-time for so long(furthermore, the last three month you have nothing to do) without being paid and when you ask if you can get a part-time job they tell you that you have signed a contract.

I’m sorry to hear that you are not enjoying your time with FDM. We don’t make any money from having trainees in-house and therefore as a business it is in our interest to place everyone as soon as possible, and some are even placed before they complete the training so that they can go straight on to their placement. However, some people take a little longer to secure a placement. Your feedback is important to us and I would welcome the opportunity to discuss this further with you. Please come and see me or email Jonathan.Young@fdmgroup.com . In the meantime, if you are in the Academy waiting for a placement can I suggest that you take advantage of the further training and coaching that is available – including classroom based training, pluralsight and so on.

Vantaggi

It is a job that pays.

Svantaggi

They will promise you opportunities that don't exist. The company they contract you to will promise you work that you will not be assigned. I was a Java Consultant with a masters degree in Math and certificate in full stack and I was shoved into a manual testing position that required zero coding and constantly dangled automation in front of my face. When I was asked to look at Selenium, I studied it in some of the copious amounts of downtime i had and was reprimanded during the next meeting for 'wasting company time'. I moved from Texas to New Jersey for my first position. After contracts with the company were terminated, I was pulled off my assignment only to be abruptly fired for "lack of geoflexibility" despite willingness to move to several places they do business including NYC and even Denver. There is no accountability from them as the only response they give is "the decision is final". There is no way to appeal a blatant lie. Their company has no integrity and side with business majors over people that know how chemicals and physics and electrical components work just seem like bad life decisions. They will say you can reapply but they won't hire you. They'd full of it at every angle.
